Anglian seeks strategic delivery partner for AMP8 and beyond

Anglian Water is seeking a partner to support the delivery of its multi-billion pound, multi-AMP investment programme.

The company has issued a tender for a Programme Delivery Partner (PDP) to work across its entire investment plan until the end of AMP10 in 2040. This will include its c£10bn business plan for AMP8 and two new reservoirs in the Fens and Lincolnshire. Worth £1bn, this is one of the largest contracts of its type offered to date in the UK water industry.

Andy Alder, managing director for major infrastructure delivery, said: “We’ve put collaboration at the heart of our delivery strategy for more than 20 years, through our industry-leading alliancing models, and we’re excited to take it to the next level with this new strategic partnership.

“We already know that working collaboratively across the value chain helps drive consistency, efficiency and innovation… This Programme Delivery Partner will help us roll out this approach across our whole capital programme, which is vital to help us deliver what’s set to be our biggest investment ever into our region.”

Shortlisted candidates will go through to the full tender phase early next year, with the contract award set for summer 2025.
